Senior Product Designer with expertise in design systems and frontend development.
What I'm looking for
As a Senior Product Designer and Design Systems Specialist with over 12 years of experience, I have successfully bridged the gap between design and engineering across various projects, from small startups to large enterprises. My journey began as a Frontend Developer, which has equipped me with a unique perspective on how design and development can work in harmony to create exceptional user experiences.
At Cognism, I played a pivotal role in maturing the design team by building a Frontend Development code-aligned Figma component library. This initiative not only increased delivery speed but also significantly enhanced product quality. I am passionate about mentoring designers and establishing robust workflows that empower teams to deliver their best work. My experience with design systems, including the creation of a comprehensive design system via Tokens Studio and Storybook, has been instrumental in streamlining processes and documentation.
Throughout my career, I have consistently focused on problem-solving and effective communication, ensuring that outcomes align with both user needs and business objectives. I thrive in collaborative environments and am dedicated to enabling designers by providing them with the tools and resources they need to succeed.
